Pole shield

A pole shield structure comprising two or more pole shields wherein each pole shield comprises a sheet of composite material forming a hollow structure having an open first end and an opposed open second end for circumferentially extending around a pole structure, the sheet of composite material comprising from about 50% to about 80% by weight of a reinforcement impregnated with about 20% to about 50% of a polyurethane resin composition comprising a combination of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component, wherein the sheet of composite material includes an opening extending from the first end to the second end and the sheet of composite material is movable between a receiving position where the opening is expanded to receive the pole structure and a closed position where the opening is reduced and the sheet of composite material circumferentially extends around the pole structure, wherein the composite material is selected for its fire resistant properties, wherein the two or more pole shields are stacked one on top of the other with the open first end of a first of the pole shields connecting to the open second end of a second of the pole shields to increase the height of the pole shield extending around the pole structure.
